Did anybody else's Windows 8 download speed suck this bad? I'm using the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant and this is insane. I can normally download a 2 gig file in less than 30 minutes, but right now it's telling me it will take 7 hours 30 minutes. It's at 6%. I really really don't feel like waiting that long.

Is anybody else getting EXTREMELY slow download speeds on Windows 8? I'm using the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant and this is insane. I can normally download a 2 gig file in less than 30 minutes, but right now it's telling me it will take 7 hours 30 minutes. It's at 6%. I really really don't feel like waiting that long.

did you reinstall your motherboard drivers?

you have to download the new win 8 LAN, chipset drivers for your mobo...

No, mine didn't take that long at all, it was rather quick. I can't remember exactly how long, but not 6 hrs, maybe like 25 minutes. Perhaps the word is out and they're getting hammered

I restarted my computer and resumed and it's still showing 6 and a half hours. What the hell is going on? This wouldn't really make sense, but could it be because I told it I wanted to keep all my settings and apps?
